Slocan Valley Community Service Society is a charitable organization based in Slocan, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under public amenities. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending February 28, 2024, it reported $673K in revenue and $793K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 8% from donations, 63% from government, 6% from other charities. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 10 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $196K.
Compared with 686 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 5% of peers. Its fundraising cost per donated dollar was lower than 94% of that peer group. Its highest-paid position fell in the $40,000–79,999 range. The charity reported 3 permanent full-time positions.
Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
